Canvas files do not render immediately after startup, but become instant after ~20 seconds

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch Obsidian.
  2. Immediately open any Canvas file after startup.
  3. Observe that the Canvas tab opens, but the Canvas content does not appear immediately.
  4. Wait approximately 10–15 seconds for the Canvas content to render.

Expected result

Canvas files should render immediately after opening, just like regular notes.

Actual result

After startup, Canvas files take approximately 10–15 seconds before their contents appear.

Environment

Obsidian v1.13.0 (Installer v1.10.3)
Windows 11
I was unable to locate the “Show debug info” command in the Command Palette, so I could not include the requested debug information.


Additional information

・No obvious errors appear in the developer console.
・The only message consistently shown when opening a Canvas is: Received URL action {file: “…canvas”, action: “open”}
・My vault contains a large number of Canvas files (around 100), and several canvases contain more than 200 image cards.
・While a Canvas is waiting to render after startup, I observe loading activity in the Backlinks pane, which makes me wonder whether the delay could be related to backlink indexing, metadata cache initialization, or another startup process rather than the Canvas file itself.

Yes, me too.
